What Causes Severe Gagging In A 10 Month Old?

my child is 10 months old and is gagging a lot, not necessarily while he is eating just while he is playing. His fingers are not in his mouth. It will happen all of sudden, he will gag and then gag to the point when he looks like he is going to puke, but he doesnt.

Hello,

Symptoms which you describe suggestive of breath holding spells or cyanotic spells, in which baby turn bluish all of sudden while crying, also in normal condition. You need to do some investigation as echocardiography, complete blood count (CBC) for hemoglobin levels.
